108 PRTOROSAL his proposed to continue research otrproblerns critkalAo_a claification of the fundamental aspects of the stimulus-rsponse relationship in biological systems. Studies will be conductod utilising chronic animal preparations with permanent_septal electrodes. intsstigations viU be conducted utilising chronic electrode preparations coupled with selected classical types of conditioning. Studies will be conducted on the geograpAy of the brain in selected species_of_sTninvals to determine the locus in which stimulations will produce specific reactions. A careful literature survey, especially of the Russian literature)of foreign research in this area vein be conducted.

A critical review will be maintain�edf selected foreign literature especially that on the neurophysiological mechanism of conditioning and related behavioral research. 2.
